### New Probe File

Once you have calibrated the wrist, you can change the tip attached to the wrist and do a tip calibration.

To calibrate a new tip on the wrist:

1. Access the Probe Utilities dialog box by selecting the Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe menu option.

2. Make sure the probe description matches the new tip that you have loaded.

3. Select one or more AB combinations from the Active Tip list that correspond to this new tip. If a desired AB combination is not in the list, you can add it by selecting the Add Angles button. You must select at least one AB combination from the tip list in order to calibrate the tip. If you select more than one, PC-DMIS averages the results to get a more accurate tip offset.

4. Once you select the desired tips, click the Measure button. The Measure Probe dialog box appears so you can set the number of hits; the prehit and retract values; and the speeds.

5. From the Options to Calibrate area, select the Calibrate Tips option.

6. Set any other desired parameters. For more information on the Measure Probe dialog box, see the "Measure" topic.

7. Click the Measure button.

PC-DMIS will begin to measure the sphere with the selected AB angle combinations.
